Supercharging and a stock transmission

[boomguy]

The question here is for anyone who has supercharged their car had transmission problems? If so, please let me know what problems you've had and what you did to correct it.

I have an 05 CV LX Sport with an AED Supercharger on it and lost one of the forward clutches in it. I'll know more when I talk to the mechanic later this week.

THANKS:help:

I have an S/C and Bullitt Proof trans w/ no probs.

In 60K miles on my wifes E150 w/ no towing we had 3 4R70W trans.

I believe we share the same transmission. 450HP is the limit. Over that and your on borrowed time.

I believe Charlie means 450 RWHP, not to be confused with Crank HP.

Just to be on the safe side. I went with a stage 2 trans upgrade from
Dennis R. Great investment.

How many miles S/C'ed? Total?
What are the symptoms?

+1. Not only good investment but good fun factor, too!

Yes! Thanks for clarifying that!

AED 9 psi. 12,400 mile on the car, less than 500 in the blower. It was installed by Scott Graves at AED. He had it for a couple of months then drove it about 350 miles from Ventura, CA to Livermore, CA to deliver it to me. I had drivin it less than 100 miles when It just plain lost overdrive . . . then drive. I was on a road trip with 4 adults and a full trunk with the cruise control set at 70mph when the car acted as though it shifted into neutral. I was able to literally "limp home" and had to complete the trip in my wifes Honda.

I'll talk to the service guy later this week and get more of the scoop.

As with any high performance mod, it will decrease the standard life expectency of the engine/drivetrain. That is a given. Either you accept the fact that you may be spending a decent amount of money down the road to repair, or you stay mostly stock. In my case, I will drive my car to its limits, and then fix it when it breaks. Not if it breaks, but when. I have taken measures to increase the time I can expect to drive my car in its current iteration, but am fully expecting to spend some serious money when it breaks.I believe we share the same transmission. 450HP is the limit. Over that and your on borrowed time.

Boomguy, don't feel bad, I had mine done by a trusted national big name that is local and the same thing happened, 110 miles,no fourth, no abuse, limpped in to "Nowhere SC", good story. Trans good now but was better as a centrifical S/C trans. Tom

I'm on my 3rd. This time I bit the bullet and bought a built tranny from LenTech. Rated @ 1000 hp, ought to last me a little while.
